....could well be the case gatfield, I don't profess to know the amounts. However, even that 20% doesn't get to those who really need it. Greed amongst the beaureacrats denies assistance to those who genuinely need it - so why bother giving anything at all?
Sadly, with boofheads running the place with limitied intellect (like those rantings eminating from 'Winstun' for example) spend too much time lining their own pockets, screwing their own people, using rhetoric like 'redneck' and too little time helping those for whom aid is intended.
Australia was never the perfect administrator of PNG and there were certainly Aussies who behaived like upstart colonial lords. However, like Zimbabwe, the populace were far better off under the previous admininstration than the present and sadly the country is destined to disappear down the gurgler.
People like Winstun will ensure that happens.
